Key Review Excerpts
“The entire staff has been nothing but the most compassionate, caring, loving, kind & professional from Day 1. They are doing whatever it takes to make sure my stay & rehab are a positive experience.”
“Everyone from the front desk, CNAs and the RN were great and compassionate. PT and OT you guys rock! The whole place is beautiful and the private rooms and bathrooms were the best.”
“Would not recommend anyone’s loved one be sent to this facility without someone watching over every minute of care they receive. Short staff and nursing staff without proper training to assess and notice acute changes in patient status.”
This facility meets both EveryPlace staffing reference benchmarks. Higher staffing is generally associated with stronger day-to-day care.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
